Thanks to you all for the congrats! I want to emphasize how great this web site is. I followed each and every one of the instructions for the 129F petition and it worked out great. No RFE, etc. The he11 with attoneys. They're just a waste of time and money. Again, I hope those still waiting for their NOA2 get approved soon.

CONGRATULATIONS....now u can take a deep breathh....and ready ourselves to the next stage and next bunch of research again....to those who are still waiting...keep ur hopes high...TOMORROW u will be surprised....SPEEDY APPROVALS FOR EVERYONE!!!!!! :innocent::whistle::innocent::innocent:

Dont feel so bad about it Tars....

My fiancee was never lucky at all in calling USCIS...He either gets to talk to Ms. Congeniality :devil: or Mr. Personality :devil: everytime he query for our visa status....THe thing is, those people there are like automated machines....what they tell you are like programmed answers and were NEVER helpful at all, after all they care less coz they dont know how we all feel,,,how we were dying to be with our loved ones...and my fiancee was so pissed off and come to a point of not calling anymore coz it just ruins ur day......we were touched ONLY ONCE before we get approved, so hang in there...youll gonna get yours soonnn....

GOT APPROVEDDDDDDD IN 96 daysss!!!!! :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Hey guys its still fresh to me how i had been whining yesterday about feeling helpless of our approval... and so happy to share to you our great news. I used to check our emails a lot of times a day and today i woke up wit my honey calling me he got a notice on email that were approved! THANKS GOD..i screamed out. Its an undescribable feeling, so blessed for NO RFE's either as we fear that coz we dont have a separate Letter of Intent to Marry, My fiancee just write it for both of us..which is BIG THANKS TO THAT! We were only touched once since our NOA1,..and that is October 18...NO touches...no news....Nothing until today that were just surprise of the news :thumbs: ...So to all you guys out there..DON'T WORRY about the touches, it may or may not be touched often just like others...but APPROVAL NOTICE will just surprise you one day just like we had....So now will be preparing again for the next step....More research againnnnnn!!!

GOODLUCK to all and praying for a speedy approvals for all. YOUR all next in line....GODBLESS and many thanks for all the emotional support and helpful infos....VJ Rulesss!!!! Pretty soon were all be reunited to our love ones and never be separated again......

GODBLESS everyone.....

P.S. :time::innocent:

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE RECENT APPROVALS!! HAPPY DANCE TIME! :dance::dance::dance::dance:

I wish I filed at Vermont... :angry:

Congratulations on the approval!! That is great news.

I applyed just after you so i am praying for a NOA2 soon!

THANKS for all the CONGRATZZZIESS guyss......YOU'RE ALL NEXT IN LINE....and its gonna be SOONNN!!! youll just be SURPRISEDDD! GOODLUCK!

Congratulations. I'm so envious and apprehensive and angry at the same time. My 1st NOA is dated 10/10/2007 and I've not even had a touch, yet. Who'd you bribe to get it done so quickly? LOL

I hope I didn't make a mistake today, but I phoned the USCIS and told them that I know of two persons who filed after me and already have their 2nd NOA. I implied that mine was lost and the rep turned ugly on me- down right rude. It ticked me off so I wrote an email to my state's Senator. I hope this isn't an oops on my part.

Anyway, congratulations, again. I know the apprehension that has been totally relieved from you now.

Bob

I feel the same way but im not going to call cuz i know it will get no where with them lol.

Tars, I know how you feel. I got my NOA2 after a couple of people on here with later NOA1 dates than mine.

Unfortunately, CSC is a lot slower than VSC, so you might still have to wait a bit. I don't think any October filer from CSC got a NOA2 yet, am I right? But I bet a whole bunch more Octobers go through before January is over.

I only had one touch before I got my approval, btw.

104 days after our NOA1. I'm so happy. For all of you waiting, I know the approvals from the VSC are coming fast and furious, so you won't be waiting long. Hopefully CSC will be picking up the speed soon!

Such a relief!

I had no touches at all. It was like a bolt from the blue.

Gimme a ticket for an aero plane…………

Good Luck to all of us in October... but especially for those before us, no matter where they filed that have waited and suffered for so long...

I don't care how much money I gotta spend

Got to get back to baby again

Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home

My baby, just-a wrote me a letter

Well, she wrote me a letter

Said she couldn't live without me no more

Listen mister (CSC or VSC), can't you see I got to get back

To my baby once-a more

Anyway, yeah!

I’m outta here…..

VSC has been approving quite a few September as well some October filers since the beginning of the year. However, you're timeline indicates that you are still in a very reasonable timeframe for NOA2. Don't stress too much about it at this point. You will eventually get the approval notice.

It's all about patience here, even though it's hard at times to stay patient and positive throughout the entire process. But there's nothing we can do about it.

All the best of luck to you!!! You'll make it through!!!! :thumbs:

In every difficulty lies an island of opportunity.

Just be thankful you live in a state where you get to file at VSC. I'm an August filer, I have a very straightforward case, and I was just told today that I will have to wait another month or two at CSC. So hang in there! You'll be before us, I'm sure.

:yes: You have nothing to worry about - being with Vermont at this point in time is a blessing... My NOA2 took five months and I am one of the lucky ones - someone from CSC has just got their NOA2 after filing in May so please be patient and take the time to enjoy being with the people you care about at home - soon you won't be able to see them all the time :)

If this process has done anything it has taught me patience and humility as well as empathy and compassion. Use it as a learning experience :)
